STOCKHOLM : Sweden's Ericsson, under fire for its handling of a bribery investigation in Iraq, warned on Thursday of a potential fine by U.S. regulators and reported a fall in first-quarter core earnings over its suspension of business in Russia.

"The resolution of these matters could result in a range of actions by DOJ, and may likely include additional monetary payments," Ekholm said in a statement, adding that it could not reliably estimate the size of the fine. Quarterly adjusted operating earnings fell to 4.7 billion Swedish crowns from 5.3 billion a year ago.

However, the company's total quarterly revenue rose 11per cent to 55.1 billion crowns, beating estimates of 53.36 billion crowns.
